Game 1: Minion, quarry, throne room, young witch, warehouse(bane), salvager, library.
Navelpluis takes an early lead in the minion race, getting 5 to my 3, but it doesn't matter as much as usual as throne rooms are available at 4 and warehouses at 3. Then he switches to gold, which doesn't turn out well for him.
eigensheep wins 30 - 7
Game 2: hunting party, tournament, ghost ship, Ill gotten gains, remake, chapel, university, possession, moat.
Navelpluis goes with tournament chapel while I open remake silver, then we both pick up a potion while i grab a moat with a spare $2. Navelpluis buys silver over tournament on turn 3 and silver over university on turn 7, which I find surprising, but it works out well for him, and he gets 7 hunting parties to my 3 and 2 possessions well before I buy my first. I grab a couple of ill gotten gains in that time, which was probably a mistake. I get the first province, but Navelpluis gets the first prize (trusty steed). After that I fall heavily behind, but Navelpluis plays a possession while possessing me, and this gets me followers and 2 duchies. Then Navelpluis gains princess and bag of gold over duchies, and a lucky draw lets me sneak ahead at the finish.
eigensheep wins 34-30
Game 3: pirate ship, governer, warehouse, jack of all trades.
Navelpluis opens pirate ship, and I figure that a deck full of governor with no treasure could work quite well and the +card won't help pirate ship much with no villages available. I grab a jack to make sure I can keep getting to 5. Navelpluis abandons the pirate ship plan after they miss horribly, and big money with 2 pirate ships can't keep up with governors.
eigensheep wins 36-15
Game 4: fools gold, festival, border village, remake.
I think Navelpluis got a bit discouraged here when he saw I had a 5/2 split for fools gold and +buy in the last game. He buys border village festival several times with only one terminal in his deck.
eigensheep wins 50 - 32
Navelpluis appears to be a genuinely nice guy. Would play again.
